Goodbye to the pain of life...

Hi everyone! I know super tagal kong nawala at marami din akong kwento na gusto i-share sa inyo one of these is about my cousin's struggles with Cancer...

November 2013 my cousin Janssen was brought to a nearby hospital due to excessive cough, he wasn't able to sleep properly or even work properly anymore. After a series of test his doctors advised him to transfer to the Heart Center of the Philippines and there he was diagnosed of stage IV Lung Cancer. It was indeed the hardest part of our life, lahat kami sa family tried everything to help him out financially and emotionally. Nung namatay ang lola namin little things change and  nag ka roon ng gap ng communications sa aming lahat, we only get to see each other sa fb and even talk, but when we all found out about his stage para kaming tinawag lahat ng Lola namin, we become united and much closer.

December 2013 we had a reunion, everyone from different parts of the country and overseas gathered to spent christmas with him. One thing I regretted was not spending our birthday together like we used to. He was born December 10 and I was born December 11, separate years nga lang pero since the day na tumira ako with our Lola she always made it sure na mag celebrate kami together kahit simple pansit and puto lang masaya na kami.

January 2014 He was doing Ok, he started to gain weight kahit papano.
Since it was already a stage IV Lung Cancer his family decided not to undergo any chemotherapy and just went to alternative medicine with Dr. Rey Viloria. Dr. Viloria has given him 3 months to know if the treatments are working for him. We all continue to hope for a miracle, each one of us prayed and prayed, we all tried to show him our love, support and understanding but God really has a plan for him a plan that only him knows.

February 2014 he complain of excessive chest pain, they brought him again to the hospital but this time they went to Lung Center of Philippines, another operation was made and this time things become worst.
February 27, 2014 the doctors told his wife and family that they can only help him live through a tube inserted in his mouth, my cousin is the type of guy who hates to see people suffer because of him so he decided not to have any procedure anymore. February 28,2014 we received a text message from his wife telling us that anytime within the day pwede na syang mawala. After receiving the text and continue posting thru fb I decided to file a halfday leave and went straight to Lung Center, God was so good for giving me the time to say my goodbye to him, hold his hand and the chance to tell him that we love him as a brother.

It was a pain seeing him gone but it was better than seeing him suffer everyday, we may feel the pain of loosing him but we know he is in a better place now. He died leaving us a beautiful memory, a beautiful child and a loving wife.
